Picture Letter

I found this neat picture-letter written by C.F.A. Voysey to his grandchildren. I know there is a certain term for this type of letter, but I can't remember it right now. Sorry for the low image quality, but I had to scan it from a photocopy. I hope you can get the idea none-the-less.

It reads: "My dear grand children, I hope you are busy working at something nice for someone. Service is the safest road to happiness. You will delight in realizing the pleasure you give to others. I would like to know what things you most delight in, and do something that adds to your well being."
